Impact analysis
It's unclear if this repeal will save the city money or just shift costs around, but residents are definitely feeling the pinch of lost local control.
Honestly, it seems like the city government benefits by simplifying things, but residents are the ones losing out on local decision-making.
Residents who supported the local ordinance and wanted more say in local laws are definitely feeling like their opinions don't matter.
